This particular match was a snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Suddenly, I realised about a recent sales activity workshop where we discussed the key skills and behaviours required to convert the odd into favourable. This match had those behaviours. The last over of this match from the perspective of Indian team and certain key decisions by its skipper at the last moment can be looked as an ideal example of ACE Model. An attempt to show the equation of Attitude + Competence + Effort = Result has been made in the PPT.

Target

4. 6 runs to win for Bangladesh
- Last 4 balls
A silence has descended over the raucous
Bengaluru crowd.. Bated breaths all over...

5. It's almost done and dusted for
Bangladesh
FOUR! Rahim with another
boundary. 2 runs from 3 balls
now

6. Attitude
Whatever it takes,
we will fight till
the last ball..

7. Competence
When bowlers were unable to take wickets then
Indian skipper MS Dhoni did it from behind the
stumps.
Definitely, it was a wicket out of nowhere and
credit goes to Dhoni for this stumping.
JADEJA YOU BEAUTY.. So many hearts must have
stopped when he tumbled after clasping on to
Mahmudullah's skier, but he hangs on to it.

8. Effort
Team India used every
moment of the last
over wisely
Line and length to
bowl, Bumrah kept
his nerve in his final
two overs.
Pandya ran in for the final
delivery, bowled outside
Shuvagata Hom's reach, and
MS Dhoni, ran in 15 yards
with one glove and ran out
Mustafizur Rahman,
Proactive
+
Teamwork
=
Victory

9. SUMMARY
Of the 3 Components
of ACE model:
Attitude is the most
important.
Despite of best efforts by
Team India- things
weren’t falling in place-
So only effort without
belief is not sustainable.
Motivation to Bumrah
and Pandya in the final
overs had boost up their
confidence to increase
competence.
So, it was MS Dhoni’s
Attitude of staying
positive accelerated the
team’s ability to achieve
the successful result.
